"With mobile security attacks mushrooming at the same time that mobile
operators are upgrading their networks to deliver 3G
and 4G
services and handle booming broadband data demand, operators are being
forced to add new layers of network protection and to increase their
security processing capacity. Mobile
backhaul networks alone are adding orders of magnitude more
capacity," explains Jeff
Wilson, principal analyst for security at Infonetics
Research. "These trends are pushing revenue for DDoS
prevention solutions in mobile networks to grow at an explosive 32%
compound annual growth rate through 2016."

Global DDoS prevention appliance revenue is expected to reach $272
million in 2012, up 29% from 2011

Though Latin America accounts for only 6.5% of DDoS prevention
appliance revenue in 3Q12, it is expected to have the highest growth
from 2011 to 2016 as many carriers in the region deploy their first
serious DDoS mitigation solutions

The overall DDoS prevention appliance market is forecast to top $485
million in 2016

US-based Arbor Networks is the largest vendor in the global DDoS
prevention market
